Episode 27: Know Your 100% and Say NO... Often (Disciplines 5 and 6)

In this episode of the Shed and Shine podcast, Gino Wickman and Rob Dube empower entrepreneurs to achieve true freedom by mastering two vital disciplines: “Know Your 100%” and “Say NO… Often.” They dive into the Fifth Discipline, which focuses on identifying your optimal work hours—akin to a car’s ideal fuel efficiency—to prevent burnout and maximize productivity. The hosts share strategies for finding a balanced work routine by tracking work hours and honing in on high-energy, high-impact tasks. The conversation then shifts to the Sixth Discipline, “Say NO… Often,” highlighting the importance of managing anxiety and conserving energy for meaningful activities. Citing Greg McKeown’s “Essentialism,” they explore the choice between the short-term discomfort of saying no and the long-term regret of overcommitting. Gino and Rob offer practical tools like the “Say No Comfort Scale” and a “no button” exercise to help listeners build this essential skill. Tune in to learn how these disciplines can help you protect your time, boost productivity, and foster inner peace.
